who was it - walking down the school corridor?
a Spanish teacher?
an honors student?
a football player?
you'll never know; you didn't care.
did it feel good,
mister shooter?
to pull the trigger on
a mother?
a best friend?
a boyfriend?
to take the lives of family and friends and lovers of innocent people?
was seeing those who have hurt you
suffer by your hand
worth a life behind bars?
16 years old
yet you think you have the right to take away life?
